Introduction

An extended Kingdom Lament

1. Hypokrites – noun, is a term used to describe stage actors. Pretending, acting a part.

2. What tone do you hear in Jesus’ words?

3. Ouai – the anti-makarios

4. Woes summarised in the first 12 verses, where we learn two key aspects for faithful living in Jesus’ lament.

A. KEEPING TRUE TO THE KINGDOM WAY

1. Living with integrity and congruence.

2. No masks – our external lives corresponding with the person we truly are.

B. KEEPING TRUST WITH THE KINGDOM’S KING

1. Living humbly in a way that always points others to Christ instead of to ourselves.

Conclusion

An earnest Kingdom Longing

1. Jesus weeps over our waywardness.

2. Jesus longs for our return. He goes to the cross for it.
